4 Claims. 1
This invention relates to a musical note and keyboard translator and has for an object to provide a musical note and keyboard translator for enabling musical beginners to more readily translate the relationship between musical notes and musical staff as normally reckoned to the corresponding key on the keyboard of a piano, accordion, organ, or similar instrument, and in addition, to learn the letter name that goes with both the musical note and the corresponding key on the musical keyboard.
A further object of this invention is to provide a musical note and keyboard translator that assists the beginner in memorizing the relationship between the printed musical notes, the note as it appears on the keyboard of the instrument, and in addition, the letter name that is usually applied to such note.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a musical note and keyboard translator wherein musical notes and musical staff are printed in the normal size that popular music is usually written, and providing a slide similar to a slide rule so that the relationship between each note as printed and the keyboard representation as well as the letter name may be easily ascertained and thereby may be memorized.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a musical note and keyboard translator that assists the musical beginner in learning the location of the note on the keyboard, and then thereafter, if desired, to also learn the letter name that applies to such note.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a musical note and keyboard translator made up in the broad aspect of a slide rule and utilizing the front face of the envelope and of the slide for indicating the relationship between the musical stair and musical notes to that of the position of the keyboard and then using the reverse face of the device for indicating the corresponding letter name that applies to the indicated musical note representation and keyboard.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a musical note and keyboard translator that may be printed and made and sold very inexpensively, thus keeping its cost well within the reach of the average musical beginner.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, this invention comprises the combination, construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth, claimed and disclosed in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. l is a plan view of the musical note and keyboard translator of this invention, showing the front face, partly broken away.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the corresponding front face of the slide sheet.
Fig. 3 is a partly fragmentary plan view of the rear face of the musical note and keyboard translator.
Fig. 4 is an edge view of a short side of the translator.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 55 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6-4) of Fig. 1.
There is shown at It] the musical note and keyboard translator of this invention generally in the form of a slide rule and including a slide sheet ll arranged to slide within a longitudinally extending open ended envelope l2, the length of the slide sheet ll being in such relation to the envelope l2 that at least one short end It or M of the slide sheet ll will always extend through one of the short open ends of the envelope I2, each short open end of the envelope [2 being finger notched at l5, whereby the overall length of the slide sheet H and of the envelope l2 may thus be substantially equal.
As shown, the envelope 12 includes a frontface l6 and a rear face ll suitably secured together along the longitudinal edges as by eyelet rivets l8 and by spacer strips 28 of substantially the same thickness as the thickness of the slide sheet II so that the slide'sheet H may slide back and forth easily therethrough as desired.
At the center of the front face N5 of the envelope I0 there is provided a representation of a musical staff 2| which may include both a treble clef stalf 22 and a bass clef staff 23. The staff 2| is printed in the normal size that music is usually printed, corresponding to the usual size for printing popular music. Extending vertically across the grand staff 2! is a window 24 through which the front face 25 of the slide sheet II will be visible. Printed on this front face 25 is a group of lines and spaces 26 over which are printed substantially all of the musical note representations 2! on the treble clef portion thereof, and an identical group of lines and spaces on which are printed substantially all of musical note representations 28 on the bass clef portion thereof.
Also printed on the face of the front face l6 of the envelope H is the representation of a keyboard, which may be a piano, accordion, and organ, or a similar instrument. In this case, a piano keyboard 31 has been used as the example, and the piano keyboard 31 includes the keyboard representations 33 corresponding to most of the white keys on a piano keyboard. The middle C note of the keyboard 3| which may be marked as shown, is located preferably in vertical alignment with the vertically extending window '24 thereabove. The black keys of the keyboard are likewise printed in their usual position, so as to identify the various white keys by their relative'position thereto. The envelope front face [6 is also provided with a longitudinally extending window 32 located just below longitudinally extending keyboard musical representations 3i? and 3|, and visible through this window 32 is'a marker indicium 33 suitably printed on the front face 25 of the slide sheet ii.
This indicium marker 33 is located on the slide sheet front face 25 in vertical alignment with the musical note representations corresponding to middle C, and the width of the keyboard representations 3H and 3! corresponds substantially identically with that of the spacings of the musical note representations 2i and 28, also, musical note representations extend in the opposite direction of the musical keyboard representations.
When the slide sheet II is located in the mid position within the envelope I? the indicium marker 3'5 will be located adjacent the keyboard representation 3! of middle 0, and likewise musical representations on both the treble clef and the bass clef of middle C will be correspondingly visible through the vertically extending Window 24. Using the slide sheet ll one keyboard representation to the left, for instance, Will bring the marker 33 adjacent the keyboard representation for B next to middle C, and likewise will make the musical note representation of this same note B Visible through the vertically extending window 213 due to the fact that such musical note representations extend in the opposite direction of the keyboard representations as above pointed out. Hence, by moving slide sheet I! back and forth, and stopping it at different position, whatever key is pointed out by the indicium marker 33 visible through the window 32 will always correspond to the musical note rep. resentation visible through the window 24.
The musical beginner may, by using this device, recognize and memorize the musical notes corresponding to the particular keys on the instrument.
A further feature is that in addition to learning the correspondence between the musical note and the key, the beginner may also learn the ready names thereof. using the reverse face M of the slide sheet H and the reverse face H of the envelope I2. The sheet H is pivoted around its longitudinal axis, and then the letter names 35 of the keys and of the musical notes are printed in a longitudinally extending series across the rear face 5 3 of slide sheet H, likewise reading in a reverse direction for the same reason that the musical representations 27 and 28 read in a reverse direction. A window 36 is provided in the envelope rear face H and so located thereon, that when the marker indicium 33 of the front side is located adjacent middle C keyboard representation 3|, the musical note representations correspondin thereto are simultaneously visible through the vertically extending window 2 3, the letter name C would be visible through the window 36.
As shown in Fig. 3, the slide sheet i i has been pulled out to one side and shows the letter name E therethrough. Rotating the translator it about its longitudinal axis without moving the slide it relative to the envelope l2 would show that the marker indicium 33 through the slot 32 would be adjacent the corresponding keyboard key, the note E would likewise appear through the This is accomplished by include a representation of the instrument such as a piano 3? to which the particular keyboard belongs. Likewise the rear face ll of the envelope I 2 may include instructions and directions for use at 38 appropriate to subject matter of, the translator.
While the device has been shown and the structure described in detail, it is obvious that this invention is not to be considered as being limited to the exact form disclosed, and that changes in.
